Zaha Hadid Architects

The architect’s view

In the Roca London Gallery, located in Chelsea Harbour, the leading role is played by the water that, in the words of Zaha Hadid, ‘acts as a transformer moving, without interruption, through the facade, carving the interior and flowing through the main gallery as drops of water’. The Facade has a series of openings that seek to show the effect of water erosion and a white interior filled with drops of light acting as the backbone of the gallery. These drops of water connect the different areas of the space which are part of the gallery itself; namely an exhibition of Roca’s most innovative products, the meeting room and the multimedia space, amongst others. Additionally, the interior features the latest technologies which combine with modern audiovisual, sound and lighting equipment to transport the visitor to a truly cutting edge space.
